Take a look at Beeline GPS. Works great.

I keep a Holux 1000 always powered up under my car seat so when I'm in the car my Kaiser links to it for GPS needs. That way its instant as soon as the app starts. Waiting on the internal GPS is painfully slow and by using the Bluetooth GPS is doesnt sap my Kaiser's batt.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] kekele:
Beeline it's more for navigation as i can see, and plus it's not free :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] josefcrist:
try visual gps

http://www.acetylated.com/software/mobile/visualgps/visualgps.html

freeware. it is pretty sweet. i think that it is exactly what you are looking for.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] gardndj:
Turbo GPS, SportyPal, and Noni GPSPlot are all good options. Noni is probably the closest one to the GPS hand helds of old (still have my old yellow Garmin eTrex). SportyPal works great for walking/workout tracking, butTurboGPS is the most powerful of the three in terms of functionality.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] zorrykid:
Nav4all? Amaze gps?

Try....there're some simple track functions
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] kekele:
I tried Turbo GPS, nice software, but they have to change the UI.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] tahdor:
I have tried many apps, finally now I am setteled for gpsVP (free). You can download google maps (or satellite) via WiFi or data. The downloaded maps are stored in cache and are prety compressed. It can store the tracks, also show previously recorded tracks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] kekele:
I have tried gps VP long time ago, it's nice also but it needs some fleshing up. At that time it didn't have any support for the social networks, i don't know for now.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] tahdor:
gpsVP is at version 0.4.18 (May 2009) http://code.google.com/p/gpsvp/. Also google for GoogleAK.

hey developers!

i just wanted to get a tf2d appearance on my device but installing a rom might void my warranty so i went for m2d software but it slowed down my device lyk nything so i just wanted to knw whether theres ny version of m2d available which eats less space n wil work properly with normal speed?

plz dont suggest launchers lyk throttle launcher etc!
[P3400 General] ramersonw:
Tha manilla 2d interface only work well if you cook it in your rom or flash a rom that already have this interface. If you install manilla 2d it'll slow down your device.

Azimuth & Downtilt.

I am running cupcake and this app is not available. I am trying to point an antenna and this app helped me a lot last time. I need someone to extract the apk file and post it please. It is free, and available in the market for users not running cupcake. Thank You in advance. :o
[G1 Apps and Games] kevev:
anyone? please :)
[G1 Apps and Games] beartard:
see if "gps status" could help. I know it's got tilt. Not sure about azimuth.
[G1 Apps and Games] kevev:
Thank You. That app worked. :)
[G1 Android Development] firestrife23:
I'm aware of 4 different brand of "cupcake" firmwares. I don't care which is better... the questions is what does ADP mean, cuz it's being plastering all over on this forums.
[G1 Android Development] missxoash:
It's the developer's version, in laments terms. : )
[G1 Android Development] testing567:
I don't know what ADP stands for, but it's referring to the name of the firmware put out by HTC for the unbranded version of the G1 known as the Dev phone. All the builds with ADP in the name (JF ADP 1.5 and ADP1.5Hr3) are built off the official release of the firmware called ADP 1.5. Usually ADP builds restrict access to protected apps on the market, but all these custom builds fixed that issue already and can be used on any rooted G1. All you need to know is ADP builds are based off an official release.
[G1 Android Development] firestrife23:
thanks for quick reply, I've been speculating over JesusFreke's 1.5 ADP .... I'm debating whetever I should wait for JF's cupcake version of official T-Mo's OTA firmware or go for ADP.
[G1 Android Development] CBowley:
Android Developer Phone =ADP

It was released shortly after the g1 and basically allowed you to not have to sign in to you use it. Not sure if it came rooted or not. It should have if it's a developer phone I'd think.
[G1 Android Development] Chandon:
The Android Developer Phone-1 is a G1 that comes with the engineering second-stage loader and a non-crippled Android 1.0 firmware on it (you could say "rooted firmware", but that's clearly looking at it backwards).

As far as I've been able to discern, once you root a G1 and install a fastboot-capable loader there's no significant difference between what you have and an ADP1. (Except you don't get the cool developer design on the battery cover panel.)
[G1 Android Development] ESKIMOn00b:
AFIK there is no hardware difference in the ADP1 and G1...
[G1 Android Development] oxygen2:
Correct!. you sirs win both win an internet. don't spend it all in one place.
[G1 Android Development] ESKIMOn00b:
However from what I hear htc limited root on the official adp 1.5 I believe you still have access via adb and thus can reinstate access to the phone, however I recall reading a thread about such a topic... also the adp 1.5 official come bundled with a new recovery image, so becareful after flashing that, you'll lose your ability to do nandroid backups till you reflash a recovery img
[Palm Treo Pro] KraZy_SkitZy:
I just bought my Treo Pro about a week ago with Telus. Love it so far, except for a few things

I upgraded from a Treo 700p, and one thing I'd like to know is, is there a way to send the typed in text message by pressing one of the hardkeys instead of the softkey at the bottom of the screen.

Also my girlfriend has a Treo Pro through Bell, and hers came with esmertec java, and mine didn't... Is there a way to pull it off hers, and put it on mine?

Also is there a way to move/remove/change the wireless/bluetooth today screen bar?

:confused:
[Palm Treo Pro] carlos2008:
click on the search box on top of this forum then type java esmertec , you should find the right post with the link to the cab.

[Touch CDMA General] SolemnWishing:
Well, my touch screen has pretty much gone crazy. It keeps picking up a touch in the bottom right hand corner repeatedly, even though nothing is touching it. So it is at the point where the phone just keeps vibrating and spazzing out on the table. I've done a hard reset already, so i believe the problem is likely hardware related, any possible ideas to fix this? I did rub the phone with some tooth paste earlier though.
[Touch CDMA General] Detroit_Doug:
rub the phone down with toothpaste? hoping for some minty fresh conversations?? only thing that would help with would be fixing minor scratches in the surface and even then it would have to be an older style toothpaste (none of the new gel types) as it would need to be a minor abrasion type

Sounds if the screen is picking up a ghost touch - then your digitizer is coming apart (sometimes can also be detected by seeing an "oily" something under the screen) and the only fix is to replace the screen

You can find some on EBay as well as the kits to do the operation as well

and the directions can be found around here and over at PPCGeeks just search "replacing the screen" or "replacing the digitizer" and you should get some threads with a PDF attached and where to find it all

Detroit Doug
[Touch CDMA General] SolemnWishing:
Yes, actually there looks like a giant blob of liquid underneath the screen, but it moves around so it is actually liquid... I bought this phone second hand, so i assume its probably been through the washer. Water damage stick is red too. However, after leaving the battery out overnight, the ghost touches went away.
[Touch CDMA General] Detroit_Doug:
surprised it works had it been dipped in a washer LOL

the fact it could still be a digitizer issue as it "looks" as if an oily or water bubble under the screen is moving about when pressure is applied

Best bet, get a bag of rice or a handful of those desiccant packages from a local shoe or electronic store near you, remove the battery and back cover and SD card - put rest of phone in a baggy with some rice and the desiccant packs, close up the baggy and walk away for 24 hours or so

If it is water it will be gone definitely then, if it is the digitizer separating, you will still have the blob under the screen as it is the result of the polarized screens moving to and away from each other causing the look of a rainbow weird oily blob

Once you know which it is, you can decide how to go from there -deal with water (which should be gone after the baggy treatment) or replace the digitizer from EBay

[XPERIA X1 General] kirkie:
I have recently had to hard reset my phone and for some reason the backlight only stays on for a matter of seconds. Can someone point me in the right direction of increasing this please. I do have Xperia Tweak installed and can't see the setting on that either.

Cheers
[XPERIA X1 General] Shadowdh:
Try settings, system, power, advanced and then change the time out for backlight there...
[XPERIA X1 General] MaksHunter:
remove HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\ACTimeout & BatteryTimeout

Soft Reset
[XPERIA X1 General] kirkie:
I have tried this, but there is no save or apply button so when I check back it has returned to 10 seconds...
[XPERIA X1 General] kirkie:
What does this do make the backlight never turn off?
[XPERIA X1 General] MaksHunter:
No ;) This remove your 10secs problem... After restart enter in your backlight settings & set correct values.
[XPERIA X1 General] Shadowdh:
hmm thats odd as when I change the setting and then tap ok in the top right corner it saves it for me and retains the setting no problem...
[XPERIA X1 General] kirkie:
I think it has managed to save the settings now... Cheers

Hi guys iv just bought a "svp m2000" running wm2003se.

When i got the ppc i was missing the cable to connect via active sync.

Im asking is there any way og upgrading to wm5 or wm6 via a sd card?

Any Help on the matter would be great.

Thanks.

Andy...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] beakybal4:
- format a SD card with FAT32

- extract the .NBF file from the rom image you like

- rename the .NBF to *.NBF and copy it to your SD card

- put SD card in phone and start it in bootloader (hold the record button on left side and POWER button at same time and stick with stylus in RESET on bottom)

- confirm flashing on screen

- flashing might hang after some time but this is normal. Just wait. Complete flash takes about 30 minutes.

This also works for normal (non preproduction) devices but keep in mind that if the CID does not match the flashing might not work.

I dont know what to rename the .NBF to but expriment along the lines of BLUE ANGEL

hope i helped,

Josh.

Edit: found another way

*put your blue angel on charge

* Download ntrw.exe.

* Copy ntrw.exe to C: \.

* Dos Command access to C:\

* Type ntrw write [ROM name].nb1 E:.

* Put your Blue Angel into bootloader mode with the SD card in the slot and leave it for about 30 mins (yes it freezes just leave it (: )
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Chef_Tony:
nice tutorial, since i am using a vista 64 pc i will give that method a try sometime, too, but there are some things not quite acurate/right in your description:

"- rename the .NBF to *.NBF and copy it to your SD card"

to what does it need to be renamed?

"(hold OK button on left side and POWER button at same time and stick with stylus in RESET on bottom)"

the button on the side of the device is actually the record button, the one with the tape on it.

maybe you could edit your entry, and as soon as the procedure is found right and precise enough, it might make the wiki.

very nice work!

@chef

yes i know it might have been a bit wrong because i scoured the internet for ages and only found a hermese SDcard flash apart from the other one i posted after the "EDIT:"

anyways, i'm interested to find out how to do this.

There isnt a tutorial, currently at the time of writing, of how to do this so it would be great if we could make a breakthrough :)

Josh.
[Touch HD General] vince_b:
RSS Hub has a functionality to do automatic updates but ONLY when an internet source is connected, as opposed to automatically connecting to the Internet by itself, and therefore incurring possibly unwanted data charges from one's provider.

Is there a way to do this also for the Weather and Stock tabs in TouchFlo3d?

[G1 Android Development] benmyers2941:
So I've been palying around with the Android SDK. I've done a bit of developing before, but never in Java. The Android APIs are pretty well documented, but I'm missing the basics of Java programming (data types, declaring variables and constants, file operations, etc.).

Does anyone have any suggested references? I've been digging some myself but it's slow going.
[G1 Android Development] beartard:
If you haven't already, check out http://www.helloandroid.com , http://www.anddev.org , and look for O'Reilly books on Java or skip the first five chapters of "Java for Dummies." ;)
[G1 Android Development] benmyers2941:
Both of those are really focused on Android specifically. Anddev.org is really for developers while HelloAndroid.com is more of a blog and not much technical info.

Here's the best site I was able to find about the Java basics.

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Java_Programming/Overview

After that it just learning the APIs, and I think Anddev is really going to be the site to watch on that.

I thought I'd share in case there are other aspirng developers watching.

I didn't know where to add this, but if you need to move it to the right thread please do.

I want to start developing, but I don't know any Java. I'm sure that you guys probably know some books that I can pick up to start learning. Actually any advice or resources would be great since.

Ever since i got the G1 and seeing everybody speaking code it realy started to interest me. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

[G1 Android Development] neoobs:
that would have worked great if you spelled develop right LOL
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
The thing with programming textbooks is no one can ever agree on what book is "best". Some people like books that are basically just giant lists of functions and their syntaxes, some people like books with a lot of examples, some people like books that primarily explain the most basic functions in plain English. Some folks don't like to use books at all and learn programming purely from studying others' source code.

A lot of the Java-specific books written in the past decade are written without requiring pre-existing knowledge of C++, which would be good if you have never programmed in any language before. I think the "Headfirst Java" volume is supposed to be well-regarded, but I can't say that from personal experience.

Of course, you could always just find your local community college/adult school/vocational center and sign up for Java classes. Some community colleges might place Java far down in the CS track and make you take prerequisite courses. Depending on how the course is set up, what text it uses, and how much ground it intends to cover, it may or may not have prerequisites.

Good luck :o

Learning to Develope on Android

I want to learn how to develop apks, use the SDK to its fall extent. I put Debian on my phone and windows x , made a couple of my own themes. However, i want to do more i just don't how the knowledge to do so. i tried to read on how to use java, c++, c.net, etc but I'm just not picking it up all to well. I just installed Ubuntu on my computer but my knowledge of Linux is very little. I'm welling to put the time and effort into learning how do these thing but I'm getting no where. Watching people like JK come out with roms just makes me want to do the same. i also just updated to the new SDK but for some reason it won't work (haven't gone around to find out why thou). Can anyone help me out, maybe point to toward some good sources, books, or whatever. i love messing with me G1 i just want to take it to the next level. i finish school on the 20th of this month and i have till July 15th of free time ( i leave for Basic Training). so i would like to get started between these times.

If a similar thread was already made i'm very sorry i searched like crazy to find one but had no luck, so please don't get made if there is one just point me to it.

THANK YOU :)

[G1 Android Development] hellsonlyangel:
I have read so much my head could explode, but i think I'm reading from the wrong sources or just not getting it at all. I'm reading some books i got from friends with Master Degrees in this stuff and they are just confusing me.

The major problem is I'm a fantastic hands on learner but i have no one with the spare time to help on any of these. I've been taking the Cisco Academy Online and didn't get any of it until i had someone help with a hands on learning and it all just flowed right into me easily now i'm close to getting my CCNA.

But i'll keep reading till i get it, some day
[G1 Android Development] tubaking182:
fankly i would say if you wanna make apps then read a buch of tutorials, stare ata lot a source code. and create a few simple things first. i have not bothered with any of the sample's with the SDK because i just don't like them. i do however read lots of code daily and am currently trying to find the best way to get my app running. i am one of those people that if handeed source code i could tell you what it does and when, but if told to write a program that does something it will take ages for me to figure out. even with a year of both java and VB .net under the belt i still don't know much since those classes where a long time ago. read lots of code and you could probably benefit from having a java book around too
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
I found the sample code and tutorials shipped with the SDK very educational, and would recommend the soon-to-be Android developer to plow thru them. They give you (at least they gave me!) a basic understanding of how Android apps are supposed to work.

If you're not used to general Java development at all, I recommend starting out with a beginners book on Java development first.

/Mats
[G1 Android Development] andrews240:
@hellsonlyangel - I have the same desire to learn how application development as you, particularly Android development. I've done the same as you over the years, reading tons of books and online tutorials on programming, but learning very little. I am taking a very general, but comprehensive, scripting course right now as a part of my Network Admin degree program, and I fell that I understand more after 2 weeks in this course than I did from all of my self study attempts. Sometimes, there's just no substitute to structured learning programs. The ISBN for the book that my course is using is 1418836338. It can be had on the cheap, used for around $8, just in case you want to check it out. Good luck.
[G1 Android Development] d474rpr:
So the best way I found to learn this is through trial and error. I will write code for a simple program, for instance a clock app. I will work on it until it does what I want it to then I will trash the code and build it again using what I just learned. It's just a lot of practice and don't get too deep until you have a full grasp of the concepts behind programming. You'll just get stuck and frustrated.
[G1 Android Development] feihtkrad:
Well you can't really make an app without knowing the basic elements in the language. Installing OS is not really going to get you anywhere...I'm taking two java classes and it takes a lot of time to solve a simple problem. Like my prof always says, "It takes 90% of the time to do 10% of the work." :eek:

The Android tutorials are helpful, but will you be able to create something like a Tic Tac Toe game with just the tutorial? :rolleyes:

I started looking into the tutorials a few weeks into this semester, and they looked really confusing :confused: Half semester has gone by and now I look back at it, they're almost simple as "cupcake" ;)

As the others have suggested, start reading some Java books and get coding :) O Reilly books are really good, but you should go to a bookstore and check which book is good for you
[G1 Android Development] billc.cn:
One thing to clarify here, making applications and custom roms are completely different things. For the first case, you will have to be experienced in Java and study the resources in the SDK carefully. This is a highly developed area; there're a lot of codes and books available.

For the second case, you have to know Linux quite well and know how to "hack" or trick the system. It's more like a expedition without much of a guide. (I guess in Android's case, there's the source code. but then you'll have to know C++ very well.)

Unless you want to spend full time on this, you'd better focus on the first one. Java is a very good language and you can do many things with it, not only making android programs. I would suggest you read "Thinking in Java". It's where I started.
